Hmmmmm . . . I'm not so sure about this -- the apostrophe, that is. While your way would certainly be proper, isn't there an argument to be made that it's OK as it is -- that "family cottage" is a compound noun? (A Google search yields thousands -- no, millions -- of hits.)

Oh no! The people only have four fingers on each hand! Cartoons are simplified stylized drawings. They're not trying to teach you waht a car looks like, but evoke a car. In as few lines as possible, because among other reasons newspapers are printing them smaller and smaller.

I’m convinced that there are several artists ( or “artists”) at work. The Sunday strips, especially the ones that depict the seasons, are sometimes quite beautiful. The daily strips are another matter.

“Orange Crate Art” is a song by Van Dyke Parks and the title of a 1995 album by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson. It is, to my mind, one of the great American songs: “Orange crate art was a place to start.” Comments are welcome, appended to posts or by
